Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Phoenix / Arizona

We dined this evening at the Fat Ox after hearing good things, so we had high expectations. When we arrived the service was quick and attentive and we were seated right away. At this point our server Brandt greeted us and walked us through the menu, providing very helpful recommendations. He took a lot of time and was clearly very passionate about the food and the restaurant. I won’t highlight everything we had, but Brandt was absolutely spot on with his suggestions. Our group agreed that it was one of the best meals we have ever had. The chicken was absolutely incredible. The food was perfect, the service was amazing and it absolutely resulted in a memorable night with my family. I cannot recommend the Fat Ox enough, and if you’re lucky enough to get Brandt as your server, you will have an incredible night. He made the night extremely special. Go to the Fat Ox. You will not regret it.

The best dining experience in the Valley. The food is outstanding and the ambiance is magical

The atmosphere was lovely. Our waiter Chris was amazing and very attentive. The food was spectacular. I loved what I ordered and so did my friend. We will definitely be going back there in the near future.

The Mission in Old Town Scottsdale delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The warm ambiance, expertly crafted dishes, and handcrafted cocktails made for a memorable meal. Every bite was packed with bold flavors, and the service was outstanding—attentive, knowledgeable, and welcoming. We left completely satisfied and can’t wait to return!

Our waiter, Cameron was very attentive and gave us great service. The Chimichanga was outstanding, the shrimp tacos were lacking in shrimp only 3 very small ones per taco. Otherwise everything was great. A nice place to go and eat.
